Dear Ernesto,
We regret to inform you that our busy schedules next week can not accomodate your planned arrival. Do not expect us to pick you up at the airport, take you to dinner, offer you our spare bedroom, or show you around town.
We’ve been through all that with your loud and obnoxious cousins Rita and Katrina.
You know, I hear Cuba is nice this time of year. Why not swing by Cuba and hang out with Castro for a bit. I hear he could use a little pick-me-up.
Signed,
Your pal, Dave.
